The Microsoft Surface Pro 6 goes through the iFixit workshop and the conclusion is clear: it is tremendously difficult to repair

o It is usual that after buying a device, especially with the prices that are being considered in the high range, we are going to have the courage to disassemble it and dare to know what's inside We won't, at least not most users, but the guys at iFixit do.

"

And one of the latest victims that has gone through its test bench has been the Microsoft Surface Pro 6. As we have already seen in other brands, an impeccable design and dizzying performance have a clear consequence: the equipment offers more difficulties when it comes to repairing them.But what will have happened to the latest convertible from Microsoft?."

Well, neither more nor less than what we all expected. The Surface Pro 6 doesn't stand out for being easy to open and carry out any repairs. In fact, iFixit gives it a score of one out of ten in terms of ease of repair.

They have seen and wanted to disassemble the equipment and according to themselves, the only point in the test is due to the presence of Torx screws , a standard model that if not used would have resulted in an absolute zero in the points awarded.

We already know that Microsoft Surface devices are very difficult to repair, but in this case with the Surface Pro 6, Microsoft is has passed.This is how they stand out from the page, that in the process it has cost them an awful lot to remove the screen and that the general process is complicated since many components are soldered and glued to the motherboard. This means that changing the RAM or the processor becomes quite an odyssey.

Of the rest of the components, it should be noted that, for example, to change the battery requires almost total disassembly of the device, since it is is attached to the connector under the base.

The only positive part is that Microsoft's official repair services, as happens in other brands, especially Apple, have adequate tools and knowledgeto carry out the process in a way that is not so complex, not simple.
